The leaves of life are falling off.
Youth is fading.
The days are rolling on.
Time, the destroyer, lays his hands on the whole world.
Existence in this world is as momentary as a bubble or lightening.
O lord Shiva ! Protect me.
O Lord Shiva! Who holds the begging bowl of the skull of Brahma ! Control this monkey mind which jumps at its sweet will on the branches of desires in the forest of Lust and keep it with Thee for ever.

Swami Sivananda Saraswati was a renowned spiritual leader, yoga master, and philosopher, whose teachings continue to inspire millions around the world. As the founder of The Divine Life Society (DLS) and an advocate of selfless service, meditation, and spiritual discipline, Swami Sivananda played a pivotal role in reviving yoga and Vedantic philosophy in the modern era. His mission was to spread spiritual awareness and the message of unity, peace, and self-realization.
Early Life and Medical Career

Born as Kuppuswami Iyer on September 8, 1887, in Pattamadai, Tamil Nadu, Swami Sivananda was inclined towards spirituality from an early age. However, before embracing monastic life, he pursued a career in medicine. After obtaining his medical degree, he worked as a doctor in Malaysia, where he selflessly served the poor and needy. His deep compassion and experiences with human suffering led him to seek a higher purpose in lifeโ€”one rooted in spirituality and self-realization.

Spiritual Awakening and Monastic Life

In 1923, he renounced his medical career and traveled to Rishikesh, the spiritual heart of India, where he met his guru, Swami Vishwananda Saraswati. Under his guidance, he underwent rigorous spiritual training, practicing intense meditation, yoga, and self-discipline. He was later initiated into sannyasa (monastic life), taking the name Swami Sivananda Saraswati.

Establishing The Divine Life Society

In 1936, Swami Sivananda founded The Divine Life Society (DLS) in Rishikesh to spread spiritual knowledge and the principles of Vedanta, Yoga, and selfless service. Through his organization, he offered guidance on living a balanced and virtuous life, blending spiritual practice with social service.

Teachings and Philosophy

Swami Sivanandaโ€™s philosophy was based on the integral approach to yoga and spirituality, summarized by his famous motto: โ€œServe, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realize.โ€ His teachings emphasized:

Hatha Yoga (Physical and Mental Discipline): Using yoga postures and breath control for a healthy and balanced life.

Karma Yoga (Path of Selfless Service): Serving humanity as a form of worship.

Bhakti Yoga (Path of Devotion): Surrendering to the divine with love and faith.

Jnana Yoga (Path of Knowledge): Seeking truth through wisdom and self-inquiry.

Raja Yoga (Path of Meditation): Practicing meditation for self-realization.

Contributions to Yoga and Spiritual Literature

Swami Sivananda was a prolific writer, authoring over 200 books on spirituality, health, and yoga. Some of his most notable works include:

  • “The Science of Pranayama” โ€“ A detailed guide on breath control and its benefits.
  • “Bliss Divine” โ€“ A collection of spiritual teachings and insights.
  • “Sadhana” โ€“ Practical guidance on leading a disciplined spiritual life.
  • “Essence of Yoga” โ€“ A concise manual on the philosophy and practice of yoga.

  • Swami Chidananda Saraswati โ€“ His successor and spiritual guide of The Divine Life Society.
  • Swami Vishnudevananda โ€“ Founder of the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers.
  • Swami Satyananda Saraswati โ€“ Founder of the Bihar School of Yoga and developer of modern yoga therapy.

Legacy and Passing
